[Elecraft] No Tx audio after WSJT upgrade

[Neil Zampella]

Actually ... WSJT-X only uses what windows tells it is available.   
After Windows updates its been found that Windows will scramble the
audio devices, especially if they are USB devices.

What has been found to work is to RENAME the device you use in the Sound
Control Panel.  Bring up the Sound Control Panel, find the USB adapter
normally used for sound input to WSJT-X under Speakers and double click
to open the properties.   On the first tab you can rename it to what you
want to use, such as WSJT-X Sound OUT.   Do the same with the microphone
device and rename to WSJT-X Sound IN.

Click the OK button, and then close the Sound Control Panel.   I'd do a
restart to make sure that Windows has saved that info.   Then open
WSJT-X and select them on the Audio setting tab.

Most of the users who have done this have not see the 'scrambled audio
device' issue again.
